The debate over Barry Bonds' Hall Of Fame induction is still a couple years away, but at least Major League Baseball can finally lay claim to the large-headed slugger's historic, controversial home run ball for posterity. Designer Marc Ecko paid a whopping $752,467 for the ball at an auction last September, branded it with an asterisk in a show of artsy-fartsy protest, and then held it hostage from the Hall to continue his bratty little stand-off.

However, Bonds has said he would "boycott" the Hall of Fame if it displayed the marked ball. Maybe Hall officials see this as a best of both worlds-type situation. Besides, can Barry boycott anything if he's in prison?
